July 16, 2007

                God is the ultimate mystery —
                God the Father is Pure Spirit

                It is easy for me to see the Holy Spirit
                    as Spirit and I know the permeating
                    action of the love of the Holy Spirit —
                    I know more deeply the love of the
                    Father for the Son and the Son for the Father
                    for this has been revealed to me in
                    the embrace in ecstasies and intellectual
                    visions —

                The Holy Spirit is a deep permeating action
                    I cannot describe that I know as
                    fire deep in my soul in knowing
                    the presence of the Trinity and I
                    know depth ineffable reality
                    of the existence of God —

                Knowing all 3 Persons is a fullness and
                    yet I know oneness of God and
                    I know the Persons of the Trinity —

                But ponder the Father as Pure Spirit for
                    to me I know the oneness so
                    inexpressible of love of Father for
                    the Son and Son for the Father and
                    I know in this the Holy Spirit —

                The oneness of God is so much a part of
                    my life for I live the mystery of the
                    Mass of death/resurrection —

                Christ sleeping on the cross and from His pierced
                    Heart the Church was born

                The New Adam — the Perfect One — the
                    Son of God — all pure — all sinless —
                    obedient to the will of the Father —
                    but how could He not be so
                    obedient —
                    God-Made-Man

                And man — human creatures are so disobedient
                    and we creatures, except Mary, have the
                    fallen human nature to contend
                    with

                Wounds, like cuts, bleed and need to be healed —
                    the wounds of the human nature are
                    wounds that cause us to be jealous,
                    greedy, envious, prideful, lustful,

                A person can have a physical weakness
                    diabetes
                    bad kidneys
                    bad heart
                    bad sinus

                All these may be lifelong weaknesses
                    they contend with — they are always
                    watching these physical weaknesses —

                Some people can be so prideful — seeking dominance —
                    a little child if given their way and
                    very strong willed may demand and
                    demand their way

                    they can hold out until they try to force
                    others to give into them


                    It is so hard to realize
                Jesus came as a little baby boy. He
                took on flesh and came into the world —
                helpless, fed at the breasts of His Mother,
                Mary

                    He smiled with His sweet little
                mouth, He looked at Mary with
                the eyes of God — God-made-man who
                took on flesh — He cried — He wanted
                to be held and loved by Joseph and Mary —
                Jesus, the Son of God, took flesh
                to show us the way —

 

                   He took on a human baby body —
                His little "coos" were the "coos" of God.
                but He was pure —

                We are wounded human creatures, except
                    for Mary, we act woundedly —
                    jealous, envious, hateful, angry —

                Jesus is love —
                Jesus is God
                Jesus looked at Mary and Joseph with little
                    baby eyes

                Jesus, the Son of God, humbled Himself —
                    Jesus took the nature of a slave

                    Jesus, the New Adam — died on the cross —
                        I saw Him cry on the cross —
                        for the men that would be lost
                        despite His life given for
                        sinful man

                    Jesus knew us by name
                        Jesus knew how we would
                            work to help souls today and
                            tell others about the love of
                            His Sacred Heart

                    Jesus' little Heart was formed
                        in the body of a human
                        sinless person, Mary

                Jesus learned from Mary
                    Jesus held her hand
                        His little fingers gripped
                            her finger

                    Joseph looked into the eyes of the
                        Christ child

                    Joseph and Mary knew they were
                        chosen

                    Joseph and Mary had suffering
                        from the beginning —

                        the birth in Bethlehem

                        the prophesy of Simeon
                        the Flight into Egypt
                        the loss of the child Jesus in the
                            Temple

                God made man — for love of us —

                    Jesus took on our sins and carried the
                        cross
                    Jesus, the Son of God, died for
                        sinful man

                Jesus rose on the 3rd day
                    We share in His life in baptism

                    God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in the
                        graced baptized soul most abundantly.

                Our wounded human nature
                    is elevated through baptism

                    We share in God's life

                    Our knowing and loving capacity is elevated

                    Grace heals our wounded
                        human nature

                    Think of this — Mary holding the
                        Son of God in her arms
                        and looking into His eyes —

                        holding a baby — Jesus God-made-man

                    Now think of Mary holding Jesus under
                        the cross —
                        touching His lifeless body —

                Mary knows the precious gift

                    God gave to man —

                    Mary wants the precious souls to
                        get to heaven

                    Jesus paid the price for our sins.

                    Death/Resurrection

                The Mass the sacrifice of Calvary
                    sacramentally made present
                    today —

                I can unite so deeply as a member of
                    the body of Christ to all the Masses
                    going on around the world —

                And the Father sees the most perfect sacrifice
                    of the Son and He is pleased with
                    this offering, I unite to Jesus in this
                    self giving gift of myself —

                Oh Father I want to be so one with
                    the Mass for the sake of souls
                    Jesus shed His Blood for —

                I see Lucia's vision

                I see my life united to the Mass

                Grace is outpoured as I live so deeply
                    united to the Mass —

                    The Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally
                        made present —

                Now think of Mary and Joseph watching
                    Jesus grow —

                    the gentleness of this precious
                        family

                    the love of Joseph for Mary and
                        Jesus

                    the love of the Father to pick

                        Joseph as the Foster Father
                        for Jesus

                Look at the hardness of the hearts today —
                    the lack of gentle love in the
                    family

 

 

                The hard girls on television for
                    children to watch as
                    models when parents
                    should tell children
                    about Mary —

                Show them the Holy Family
                    meditate on the Joyful
                    Mysteries of the rosary

                Annunciation

                    Think of the gift to the human race that
                God became man — think of the love of God —
                think of the purity of Mary, sinless, to be
                the Mother of God

                    God wants us to unite to the Mass and to tell
                God we are sorry for our sins and the sins of
                the human race. In living as members of the
                body of Christ we can unite most deeply in
                the sacrifice of the Mass, the sacrifice
                of Calvary sacramentally made present and help
                make recompense by uniting deeply to
                the sacrifice of Jesus offered to the Father
                in the Holy Spirit.

                    A most pleasing sacrifice to the Father —

                    I am so one with Jesus, I love the Father
                so much, I am so sorry for my sins and
                the sins of the human race, I want
                grace and mercy for us and the souls in
                purgatory.

 

                     

                    Kids are totally unpredictable, they are learning
                about their wills, authority and who they are
                and why God put them on earth. A child has a
                lot to learn. Some fight more than others, constantly
                challenging and wanting their way, parents teach
                children about wills and about God and the
                commandments.

                    God gives us a family to learn, to love, to be
                as the Father wants us to be. God wants us to
                ask for forgiveness and realize that He is
                full of gentleness and compassion. Father
                teach us patience and help us to realize God
                wants us to grow in greater holiness like
                the saints. The Sacred Heart of Jesus and
                Mary is our model. Jesus gave Himself for our
                sins. Jesus came to this earth and suffered
                for our sins. Jesus is the Lamb led to the
                slaughter — Jesus carried the weight
                of the sins of the world — He was the
                innocent lamb led to the slaughter — paying
                for our sins. Jesus was pierced for our offenses
                and crushed for our sins, by His strips we
                were healed — He gives His life as an offering —
                We live to do the Father's will — He showed
                us the way — He died for our sins doing the will
                of the Father —

                    Have mercy on us Lord, for we have sinned,
                have mercy God — we see the mountains and
                the hills and their magnificence and we know
                God, You are the Creator of us creatures, of the
                babies at the breast and of the things of the
                earth — We lift our eyes to you, Oh God, for You,
                Oh God, are our refuge — the star studded
                sky tell Your gifts to us and the songs of the
                birds of the earth and we play a song of
                doom and gloom to whom You have richly
                blessed — You are the Master — I know You
                God and know Your gifts — I know your
                gifts day long — Oh Lord how You have
                blessed us.

          

Luke 11: 9-13

'So I say to you: Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; everyone who searches finds; everyone who knocks will have the door opened. What father among you, if his son asked for a fish, would hand him a snake? Or if he asked for an egg, hand him a scorpion? If you then, evil as you are, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!'

Dear Fellow Shepherds of Christ,                                                                                   

I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. 

God has called us to be united as a family in the Shepherds of Christ.  We have received tremendous support from the Vatican recently with an important Cardinal writing the Introduction to Fr. John J. Pasquini’s most recent book Ecce Fides – which is written to help Catholics learn and defend their faith.  We have also received several powerful endorsements from Cardinals and Bishops for Fr. John’s book on the Eucharist entitled Medicine of Immortality.  Both these books are unpublished and we need funds to move forward. 
    Sadly, we also need funds to finish mailing the Prayer Priestly Newsletter and the Prayer Manual that bishop’s requested for their priests. About 25,000 newsletters are piled up in the China, Indiana community building ready to go, but we lack $17,000 in postage 

This is a vocation — to pray deeply for the priests, the Church and the world and to help support the Newsletter and the Ministries.
    Remember the image of Our Lady of Clearwater on the building. We have very special Fatima statues so you can have a special place of prayer in your homes, praying the rosary for your family and for the priests, the Church and the world. Those using the special statues will be united to us in a special way —
We want you to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers for the priests, the Church and the world from your special place in your home.
    Also Felix who did the original crucifix in Florida, has hand carved crucifixes with stands that are so gorgeous. These can be purchased, carved by Felix for your special prayer corner. Crucifixes and statues should be used especially praying for the priests, the Church and the world. Special Fatima/Clearwater Statue 27" plus crown $400, 18" plus crown $200, 11" $150 (shipping is additional).  The 30” Crucifix is $750+$50 stand. It is best to pick up the Crucifix from our stores in Clearwater, Florida or in China, Indiana. 

Please help us with your prayers and funds so we can help complete the mission begun by Mary at Fatima — spreading the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus to all the priests, the Church and the world. 

With love in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, 

 

John Weickert

President, Shepherds of Christ.
